The highest rate for netflix streaming is ~600kb/s (5Mbps). Since many movies are not in HD, and compression efficiency varies according to image complexity, that's right on the bat. You're not going to use the other 995mbps for video streaming unless you send uncompressed 4k frames. Even monstruous 8k video (7680x4320) compresses to ~600mbps.
